NFL week 1 LINES - lets discuss

[face]

bears ml +130 falcons not too great on the road

[Dabeergod]

I don't think they were ever +2.5 but why not just play the ML in that spot?

Got them at +2.5 from a local almost a month ago and jumped on them right away.

[305GURU]

Call me crazy, i think i like the bills, KC hasnt looked sharp at all Matt Cassel will be pressured all game long, by Merriman and Barnett, bills could keep it close imo GL

[GemSportsPicks]

I will be hammering the Saints OVER... Their offense is good and their defense can't tackle.

[Stevedore]

I will be hammering the Saints OVER... Their offense is good and their defense can't tackle.

If GB continues to go no-huddle like they have been in preseason, this might go over easily. GB defense is good though, don't see the Saints putting up more then 21 on GB's defense.

[Tech N9ne]

Lions are the most overrated team for the coming season.

They are getting plenty of love, they have better odds to win the super bowl now than the Colts.

Actually Tampa was the lock till the line moved, now I'll have to wait till game time to decide or pass.

The stupid meaningless patriots game has really lit up the bandwagon.

Lions are not overrated. Yes its the preseason but the lions have been doing all this without some key players on defense and also megatron hasnt played much if at all. The biggest issue for the lions is the run game but Stephan Logan although undersized is fast and hard to tackle. Best and Logan should be able to get some yards on ground. On defense you saw how the lions D got after Brady the whole time. That was without Fairley and Van den Bosch. If the lions can stay healthy I'm sticking to my word, NFC north champs or at least wild card

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

LB. I really like clev, stl. also. I think the jets put it on Dallas also. Good luck.

[gryfyn1]

teaser: 6pts: ties win

Saint +10 & Pitt +9 @ -105

[GBrooks77]

I like the lions a lot, also like Atlanta.

[lakerboy]

Everyone and there mom is on the falcons.

[Ice House]

LB why do you like the Rams and why do you like the Dolphins?

I can't see any logical reason to bet against the Patriots and Eagles

[JR007]

how bout the Rams as a home dog???, they seem improved this year, non-divisional game

[Ice House]

seriously Rams.... i just don't get it. If Rams win this game I think I may give up on gambling.

[Tgordon777]

Tampa Bay is the play.

[Snowball]

HOME DOGS
Chicago +3 hosting Atlanta
Bears will be pumped for home opener. Falcons are soft.
Cutler has something to prove and will do it.
Only fanboys are laying pts with Atlanta.

Rams +4.5 hosting Philly
Rams on the upswing on both sides of the ball
and Bradford is just as good a QB as Vick is.
Cadillac Williams is "running well".
But do not bet it yet because if DeSean Jackson signs with Philly there may be LM.

ROAD FAVE
Patriots -7 @ Miami
Miami has pieces which are not together and a lack of talent.
That is not a combination for success against perhaps the
most prepared team of the preseason. I find it hard to believe
the Pats will struggle. Hit this now because NE bettors always
pound at the last minute.

HOME FAVE
Cardinals -7 hosting Carolina
Carolina ? Srsly ? will they win a game this year ?
Do they even belong in the NFL at all ?
Whisenhunt has answers for anything the Panthers can bring.

[JR007]

public perception from last year, Eagles are overpriced....

[lakerboy]

LB why do you like the Rams and why do you like the Dolphins?

I can't see any logical reason to bet against the Patriots and Eagles

I think the pats and eagles prob win but the dogs cover the number. Dont use logic in NFL. It wont work.

Dont agree with your point about the pats but lets see. MNF home dog in week 1.

[305GURU]

Like the bucs and cards as well, dont see the panthers sticking around in that game...esp on the road as a new team with a new coach...

[HighFive]

Bucs -1 is a gimme,,, GIMME!!

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Falcons @ Bears UNDER 41

I've had my eye on this for a over a month now.

[BettingWizard]

Texans under 46

wade phillips first game as D coordinator and then you'll have a hurt peyton or kerry collins

Foster now out too

[Ice House]

you would probably come out ahead betting the under in ever game on the board in week 1... I expect a lot of low scoring games.

[wildcorndog]

Take the rams to win strait up.

[Deol]

I personally really like the Chiefs at home (teased to -1.5 ) for Week 1. Definitely staying away from Det-TB and ATL-CHI. Can't decide on my other teaser (Browns to -1.5 or Eagles +0.5). Maybe NE -2.0, any thoughts?

[lakerboy]

Overs cashed large early season last year. Books eyeing revenge? Public wins usally early on in nfl and books get it all back faster than you believe.

[No coincidences]

Simplify things: take single-possession home dogs (less than 6 points) and road dogs of less than 3 points.

Whala.

Bang on. I think DET can win the division. Will they? Most likely not, but they will make a strong push for it. I think they win convincingly week 1. TB are the pure definition of average and are still a year or two away from being legitimate playoff contenders. Stafford and company are going to get the lead in most of their games and that D-line is going to tee off on quarterbacks. If you don't have a solid O-line or give them consistent help, you better have those concussion tests ready. It won't be long until.......get ready for it.....the Lions will be feared. Who woulda thunk it.

[GunShard]

2 team 6 point teaser:

Saints vs Packers Over
Steelers vs Ravens Under

[Ice House]

2 team 6 point teaser:

Saints vs Packers Over
Steelers vs Ravens Under

i love the steelers under. smash mouth low scoring football. Both teams will have to settle for field goals.

What do you guys think about the Skins vs G-men?
Redskins are 3-0 in pre-season right? is Rex Grosswoman foreal?

[wildcorndog]

Bradford looked like he was gonna be great at times last year.. And has really looked good this preseason. On the other hand vick hasn't been putting up any stellar performances

[kcburg]

Call me crazy, i think i like the bills, KC hasnt looked sharp at all Matt Cassel will be pressured all game long, by Merriman and Barnett, bills could keep it close imo GL

agreed KC needed a missed FG in OT to win last yr in KC, liking the under as well

[neverstoppers23]

I love the eagles -4.5. With their improved defense and high powered offense, I would like to think they kick the Ram's ass. Kind of surprised its not -7. But it has moved up from -3 in the last few weeks, so who knows where it will end.

[neverstoppers23]

Bradford looked like he was gonna be great at times last year.. And has really looked good this preseason. On the other hand vick hasn't been putting up any stellar performances

Vick hasn't looked terrible this preseason but vs. the Steelers when he made 3 dumb passes. In the other two preseason games he looked good. You are not going to see all out season vick in the preseason, he is not going to risk injury to win a preseason game.

He shoulda had 5 INT's vs PIT. And you might want to explain his hit on Polamalu if you don't think he would risk injury. The guy is a straight up gamer whether it's preseason or not.

But I think PHI will beat STL with their defense alone...Vick can struggle and they will still win. Personally I think McCoy carries them on offense week 1.
